Forgotten the name of a line of t-shirts

Can anyone remind me of the name of a line of t-shirts? I think they are all designed by one woman. The only one I know of has a fairly simple drawing of a child (girl?) clutching a teddy-bear.

Want small digital camcorder, under $1000, that allows editing on Mac and will be used for filming around London.

I want to buy a small, Mac-compatible digital camcorder. My budget is under $1000. I will be using the camera to shoot videos that I will project when I play gigs with my band. I will probably also use it to film other people's gigs.

Forgotten title of amazing online sci-fi story

[StoryFilter] About a year ago, I read a piece of sci-fi on the internet. I can't remember the web address, author or title.

Should I tell them before sex?

I have Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. To summarise its effects, I look like a normal girl on the outside, but my vaginal canal is considerably smaller than most women's. This makes penetrative sex with men, until my body gets used to it, very difficult. This has never been a problem because, until recently, I only slept with women. However, now I want to pursue sexual relationships with men. The first time I went to bed with a man, we knew each other well so he was aware of my condition and what it meant. However, I recently went home with a man I don't know that well yet, and didn't say anything and limited our activities to fooling around. However, this is not what I wanted: I wanted everything but intercourse. In order to deal with this issue, I could: a) Avoid clothes-off situations until I know a man well enough for the fact that I have AIS to be stated naturally. Not tempting. b) Before any intimacy, tell the guy in question about the fact that I have AIS. This would almost certainly necessitate mentioning it well before I would with any new friend. c) Tell the man that I simply don't want penetrative sex, and not say why. This is OK, but it is reasonably obvious to all but the most inexperienced that my vaginal canal is different from other girls'. So, my question: should I do (a), (b) or (c) (or a (d) that I haven't thought of). If (a) or (b), how should I go about doing the telling? With friends, it's easy, but I can imagine that a few straight men might have a problem with being intimate with someone who has XY chromosomes, and I should think that most will need to process it.

Declare desire for relationship with my friend/lover?

I have known Ben for about a year. We went on dates a few times at the beginning of our acquaintance, but nothing happened. A while later, we declared our desire for each other and ended up in bed. He has been in an open relationship with Sarah for the last 9 months, and in that time he and I have become close friends and also slept together three times. I have really fallen for him - should I declare my desire for a relationship with him? [More details...]

Can I date my friend's unrequited love?

Love-triangle Filter. I am close friends with a guy called Phil. He is in unrequitedly in love with Jennifer. At a party on Friday, Jennifer and I talked for ages and she asked me for my number, which I gave her. I have talked to Phil and he has said he doesn't mind Jennifer and I being friends, "but will never speak to me again if anything happens between [us]." Jennifer and I are going for a drink on Friday. Is Phil being unreasonable, or should I not let anything happen between Jennifer and I?

What £300-£500 guitar to buy?

What electric guitar should I buy? I currently have a dreadful Encore (£60 second hand) and need advice on a second guitar. Budget: £300 - £500. Music style: tech/math rock. Skill level: been playing for two months, practice two hours a day. I need advice on: makes and models, where to buy from, whether to buy new or used. I don't care about name-brands - I just want something good.

What is the best budget sequencer software for Mac?

Recently, I've started learning the guitar. Up to now, I've been recording and arranging my compositions on my Mac with GarageBand. However, I'm outgrowing it, so I want to find a new budget ($50 to $200) piece of software to use. I just basically want to do multitrack recording and sequencing of .wav based sound files. Also might want to add some effects to tracks, plus probably other stuff I haven't learnt about yet.
